Step 4: Verify or Install .NET
This step is for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012. If you are using Microsoft
Windows Server 2016, you can skip this step. Windows Server 2016 comes with .NET 4.6.2.
.NET 4.5 requires .NET 3.5.1 features to be installed prior to installing .NET 4.5. Failure to use .NET 4.5 results in errors when accessing IBFA.
- Select Start -> Administrative Tools -> Server Manager.
- Select Features Summary. Scroll through the list to verify .NET Framework 3.5.1 Features has been installed.
- If not, select Add Features. The Add Features Wizard is displayed.
- Select .NET Framework 3.5.1 Features. Click Next.
- Confirm your selection and click Install. The installation will proceed.
- You can close out when complete. To assure the registry gets updated with the .NET Framework 3.5.1, restart the system.
- After you have verified the .NET Framework 3.5.1 Features, verify that .NET 4.5 has been installed by opening the registry file.
- Select Run from the Start Menu.
- Type regedt32. Click OK. The Registry Editor will open.
- Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> .NET Framework Setup- >NDP ->v4 > Full
- The version should read 4.5. If v4 is not listed or the Full folder is not present, .NET 4.5 has not been installed. Make sure to look at the v4 folder. DO NOT look at v4.0.
- If .NET 4.5 is installed, close out the registry and continue.
- If .NET 4.5 is not installed, you must install before you can continue. .NET 4.5 must be installed prior to running the Insbridge installation.
Note: .NET 4.5 is not included with the Insbridge installation. The .NET 4.5 download can be obtained from Microsoft.
Troubleshooting
If you receive an error when accessing IBFA:
Could not load type 'System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule' from assembly 'System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
This error may happen when there are multiple versions of .NET Framework on a machine that is running IIS and did not get registered properly.
